No but neither do the super pro's unless you buy the value pack, or the dreaded T.V. set.
Thanks. Good information! I was thinking if its only a couple dollars difference if the Super Pro balls come with the measle cue ball if I'm going to purchase the premium set and get a different cue ball. But turns out I would save 50 dollars for unmeasurable playing difference.
I just bought a Super Pro value pack from Ozone Billiards for $175..it
includes the measle cue ball..Rempe practice ball..which these 2 alone
would sell for $60..and it has the cleaner and the cloth as well..but i
agree that the Premium set i have are great balls as well..for home
use these are more than sufficeint..but i do like the measle cue ball
best..and the training ball is good to..i see they are no longer on
sale at Ozone..but bide your time and you will find a deal..SA
Just read this.
Not sure how old the Cents I borrowed are - they came in a white/blue box as opposed to the current red/black design.
So from all the posts here can we conclude:
1.) The SAPs are the best value for $.
2.) Duramiths actually do play a bit better than Cents?

Yes, the centennials have the number in the field (the white part of the striped ball) but the point is that they are made the same way, to the same specs and should play the same as the Super Pros.
LOL. You used it right, but spelled it wrong. It's really infinitesemal - like "infinitely small" (but "small like an infant" also makes sense to me). Anyway, your point was clear.

When I had my table installed 1.5 years ago, I had it set up with Simonis 760 and SuperPro balls. For the first month the balls had very little thow. However after 1.5 years of 10-15 hours per week play, they have the same amount of throw as the pool hall balls. I can eliminate the throw with car polish/glaze (the pre-wax stuff), but it wears off in a couple of hours.
When the balls were new, I used my micrometer and measured them all. 3 were -0.001" (including the CB), 7 were +0.001, 4 were +0.002, 1 was +0.003, and 1 was +0.005 (the 13 no less). My measles ball was +0.004.
I keep thinking that I should get the balls polished to take the thorw level back down.

True, but 3 amigos (myself and 2 others) somehow found distinct differences when we tested the two sets.
Maybe age has a part to do with it. Both sets we had were old and well used but still in very good condition and we had them polished before taking them on "tour".
Now wish someone can do a similar comparison with the Duramiths. Considering a set for Christmas. If they play like the SAPs or Cents then no point getting them since they're quite expensive.
